Hello list,

I'm trying to get through a https/POST login form with libcurl.
Unfortunately I can't get it to work, but the same login works fine with
any browser I've tried, including links and lynx (so there are no tricks
with javascript or images).

What I need is a tool which somehow goes between a browser or my curl
app and the server so that I can monitor what's actually being sent back
and forth, and how the communication between the server and a browser
that works differs from what goes on between the server and my app.

Argh -- while I was typing I realized that this is an SSL connection. A
tool outside the client will not be useful. So let me rephrase my
request: I need an http client that can log the http traffic. I already
looked at Lynx's -trace option, but that seems to burp up the entire
internal state of the HTML parser, so it's not so useful.

Maybe I'll have to hack some browser, but first I want to look if
something like this is available.

Thanks for any tips,
--D.
